Summary: Pour les passionnés francophones du Titanic
Comment: Si vous êtes comme moi, un passionné de l'histoire de ce drame maritime presque mythique, vous allez dévorer ce bouquin pour plusieurs raisons: d'abord parce que c'est écrit par les survivants eux-mêmes donc ce ne sont pas des faits rapportés par les journalistes ensuite ces faits ont été écrit quelques mois après le désastre donc c'est comme si on y était, tout y est précis et le niveau de détail est incomparable surtout dans la description de M.Gracie qui est allé cherché les témoignages de nombre de survivants pour établir ce qui s'est passé dans chaque canot de sauvetage. Un bouquin essentiel...

Summary: Shows the Value of Eyewitness Accounts
Comment: This Titanic book is different from most others in being told entirely from the perspective of survivors. Two of the surviving passengers and crew tell of the ship's last hours. The first story is told by passenger Lawrence Beesley, a science prof. on his way to America. His account details the trip from Southhampton to New York. Beesley was a level headed individual who tells the story in an almost detached fashion, without fear or hysteria. His detail and objectivity make this my favorite eyewitness account. The writings of Lightoller and Bride are excellent as well. They do a good job of conveying the approaching terror people must have felt as the ship went down. One realizes that they knew what would happen, while many passengers did not. Archibald Gracie's chapter was less good. It begins alright, but he ends up giving us a detailed review of the lowering of each lifeboat, something any later researcher could have done. And unless Gracie was taking notes at the time, I find it hard to believe this was his experience! But all in all, this book is a must for Titanic buffs. It gives us a look into the tragedy that few other books can.
